description

update-cracklib
builds a compressed and accumulated version of wordlists
stored in the directories given in cracklib’s
configuration file /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf. Programs
using cracklib2 need this database to be of any use.

By default this
script is called by cron every day.

files

/etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf

shell script that sets cracklib_dictpath_src which must be
a space separated list of source dictionary files.

result

update-cracklib prints out two numbers: the number of
words read from the ASCII dictionaries and the number of words
eventually written into the cracklib database; if no error
occurred, these should be equal.

0 is returned on success, otherwise an error message is printed
to standard error and -1 is returned.
